Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

Finding bike in racing green

I'm looking for a racing green or British racing green coloured frameset or complete bike. I live in Canada and there's a LBS that can get in most brands. I was looking at getting the 2018 Fuji Feather in racing green, but they are currently out of stock in my size (I'm 6' 4' so need the larger frame). I also saw the Surly Pack Rat frameset in green, but the biggest frame size is 58. I have a 2010 single speed Masi that I've had for 8 year and have no problems with it, but just not in love aesthetically. So, if anyone knows of some green frame bikes that I could look into, that would be cool!

Thanks in advance.

Last year's All City SpaceHorse was British racing green.

Co-Motion makes bikes in Eugene, Oregon and your local shop should be able to order one or you can order direct through them. My Cascadia is BRG with Pewter panels and I love that bike.

Unfortunately Bikeisland does not ship to Canada. And Co-motion is definitely out of the price range. Thank you for the suggestions though!

Up your price range and you will be very very very happy with your purchase. I love my Co-Motion and I think you will too.

Powder coating typically costs less than $100.

Pick your color. https://www.prismaticpowders.com/sho...coating-colors

+1 on powder coating. I had this done at a local shop for $70. 2 years and 7k miles it is still sweet.Building the Matt Bike
